Smeary

I'm sorry to notice this, at least now, but I would say that spirituality is inextricably connected to basically everything else one experiences. Maybe everything is intertwined inside oneself, but there's something about spirituality that permeates things differently. It's like glue. Or water. It's easy for it to saturate the things around it. But are we designed that way? Nowadays people run from it so fast. Maybe that's why people are often having 2 way conversations with God in the Bible. Back then, there wasn't so much compartmentalizing. Your spirit, which is the thing that can connect with God, or whoever, was acknowledged as an essential part of the human experience. Maybe it was even put on a higher level than logic and scientific inquiry. I guess nowadays people would say that those who hear God have a screw loose. See, even that expression is so industrial. We are machines whose screws need to always be tightened.

So unfortunately if we are out of touch with our spiritual side, we may be in for a difficult ride. There's no glue holding things together. I'm happy if there are people who don't need spirituality. Kudos to them. But I'm not going to let myself feel weak or unworthy because I do. I understand the fact that I am in good company. Good company in both senses of the word. Good, like abundant, and good like kind and generous. But there are all kinds of people in this world. If nothing has convinced me of this by now, this has. This is a really extreme subject. Even within one person, there can be wildly divergent swings.
